Why I Quit Being the Demon King

Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 287

64. The moon and the sixpence are mine (3)

A palm tree stands on the shore, forming an arch.

A large bonfire created a deep glow, and the moon lent silver light to places where light did not reach.

There was a store made of wood on the coast.

A drink made by cooling the juice of tropical fruits and several meats, fruits and vegetables on long skewers

are gently grilled over charcoal.

Jushak Pan Yu, a knight who was not a musician but was full of musical talent, played the mandolin.

The sound was so beautiful that even Deus, sitting in an armchair on the shore, shouted for an encore.

It was a perfect place.

There seemed to be no better place in the world for relaxation than this place.

The waves were calm and perfect for swimming. This was thanks to

the atoll composed of coral reefs

filtering waves coming from distant seas.

There were already women in the water, standing on wooden boats and rowing long paddles. Kamael was teaching Signy how to ride a paddle boat.

Lakke was assisting Zeke as he grilled skewers.

Looking at the slightly raised corners of his mouth, he seemed happy just doing something with Zeke.

Yulgeum drank tropical fruit juice in the space created by digging out a pineapple.

Yulgeum smiled at the refreshing feeling of juice chilled with ice.

“Is it really nice here?”

“yes?”

Seeing Deus smiling brightly, Yulgeum actually smiled.

“ah! After all, it’s Deus! “Did you know you would say that?”

“As expected, business is not going well.”

“Is it okay? “The nearest place is 2,000 kilometers to the northeast.”

“If the food is delicious, people will come.”

“It’s impossible. “2,000 kilometers is impossible.”

Yulgeum, who was angry, ended up laughing.

“What do you think? “It’s not something I’m doing to make money anyway.”

“no it’s not? Are you trying to make money? That’s why I’m saying this, Dragon:

“I refuse.”

“Listen to me.”

“I’m not asking you to bring me here. “Because we need guests.”

“that’s right.”

“I refuse. “I can’t use my position for personal reasons like that.”

“You are also an employee of our store. So, it’s public, not private.”

“I still hate it.”

“That’s why you can’t be rich.”

“are you okay. “Because I have a rich heart.”

Yulgeum smiled and leaned back in his chair. I turned my head and looked at Deus.

“Anyway, everything happens like this when I’m with you.”

” what?”

“Until just now, my mind was filled with Raguel’s work. Kamael

wasn’t the only one worried… Look at that.”

Kamael was rowing with great force, threatening to drown Signi.

The person protecting SIGNI was Katrun. However, he was instantly pushed by Kamael and fell into the water.

I’m just playing in the water. One of the twelve archangels of this world.

Katran probably has no idea who the person wearing the leopard-print swimsuit she is spraying water on is.

“Thank you?”

“is it?”

“That’s not honest.”

“Maybe so.”

“Besides, you’re the one who forgets things, not me, right?”

“What am I?”

Deus, who was looking at Yulgeum asking questions with wide eyes, raised his hand and pointed to the west.

Yulgeum turned his gaze.

There was a star that had just risen.

The name of the star with brilliant light is Venus. It was a planet called the Morning Star for a long time

.

“Lucifer…

Yulgeum was shocked when he remembered Morning Star’s nickname.

Deus covered his mouth with his fingertips.

“Shhh.”

Yulgeum tightly closed his mouth. Deus muttered while looking into the distance.

“It’s getting closer.”

Nezar and Babel Raguel.

All the events that occurred near Deus were pointing in one direction.

“But Yulgeum, you…

“Huh?”

“no.”

“Why are you swallowing your words?”

“No… I mean…

“Have you fallen in love again? It’s okay to confess. “I’ll take it.”

“You’re so forgetful. Deus was unable to continue speaking as he looked at the very old

Yulgeum’s angry expression.

“To be honest, he’s someone you can’t let down your guard against.”

Scatul bowed his head to the beautiful woman.

She was a being worthy of everyone’s worship.

Her gorgeous blonde hair had only a portion of her bangs tinged with a fiery red color.

Her name is Michael, the owner of the flame sword and divine sword Flambe and the victorious lord.

“Since I have obtained Babel, I will surely commit sin.”

“I think so too.”

“Then why do you sound so unsure?”

“I lost some confidence because things were going astray.”

“You are God’s army.”

” yes.”

“Do not doubt God’s work.”

“I don’t doubt it.”

Michael stared at Scatul.

“Go ahead. Raguel and Gabriel collided?”

“yes. “Master Gabriel placed iron restraints on Raguel’s body.”

“It’s a miserable end. “The old angels

are very proud of having seen the Lord in person, so it must be truly humiliating.”

“They said he made strange noises. “The God of the New Testament is a false god.”

“This is truly typical nonsense from fallen angels.”

“I’ve heard that too.”

“Don’t even listen to it. It’s the dirtiest word. How dare you doubt God? Just because you’re an old angel, there’s no way you can tolerate disrespect!”

“Why is such a story coming out?”

“Scatul!”

“I’m sorry.”

Michael glared at Scatul with sharp eyes.

“Your thoughts are what will lead to the fall of angels.”

“Please forgive me. My thoughts were short.”

Michael shook his head and said.

“God is not one, or he is not the creator of the entire universe, but an ordinary being from another world. They try to tarnish the divinity of the tyrant with all kinds of wild imaginations. How could that be the way of angels? Even if God

is merciful and forgives human indulgence, shouldn’t we angels imitate him?”

“Humans are special.”

“We must lead the human being whom God so dearly loves to a higher place. “God wouldn’t have made us this powerful if He just wanted to watch.”

Michael looked over Scatul’s shoulder into the distance.

Scatul bowed his head deeply.

At some point, Archangel Michael, whom he served,

was saying out loud what an angel should do.

People who go down the wrong path and choose destruction.

It guides that foolishness and leads it to the path of true evolution.

The angel must hold a lamp in front of them and pioneer the difficult path.

It sounded good, but…

every time Scatul heard that story, he thought about it.

‘Isn’t that also something God didn’t talk about?’

On his way back to his lodgings, Ska Tull saw the man who had blocked him.

“Are you here to spy again?”

“Master Deus.”

He was fishing now.

Why on this road?

Was he under surveillance? I thought about this, but Scatul immediately blanked his mind.

There is no use dealing with it that way.

I relaxed my shoulders and smiled.

“Because my job

is to be a spy or a double agent.”

“That’s right. So, what about the tomboyish girl you serve?”

“Please don’t speak so profanely.”

“Usually, subordinates tend to talk behind their backs when their superiors are not around. My subordinates will openly swear at each other, right? “This bastard and that bastard.”

“Did you see it?”

“I know without even looking. They’re villains, right? “It’s not something worth doing while respecting someone, you’re a demon.”

“It would be unfair. The magic peacocks who served Deus

with all their heart .”

“Do you serve me faithfully?”

“Sure.”

“It doesn’t really look like that, does it? “Aren’t you suspicious too?”

“What do you mean?”

“God, Angel and this world.”

“No way.”

“It’s written like that on your face. Is it okay for an angel to intervene in the world so openly? “I’m worried.”

Scatul pulled the corners of his mouth into a smile.

But there is no way a forced smile is natural

.

Deus also laughed along with him.

Scatul was filled with jealousy at that laugh.

“You seem to be better than anyone else at making jokes.”

“More than God?”

“Maybe so.

“Isn’t that blasphemous? “You can’t believe you doubt the power of an omnipotent God.”

“How would a great God ever be sarcastic about others?”

“I don’t know. “You may not have a good relationship with the god of the next country.”

“There is only one God.”

“Then isn’t it troublesome?”

“What does it mean?”

“I need to sleep, eat, and rest. “How many hours are you trying to make me work, even though 52 hours a week is a lot?”

“Raguel’s story also seems plausible. God is not one. Just as there are many angels, isn’t God also a group of people? Work takes place in turns, but the cycle is not at a level that we can measure. The distinction between the New Testament and the Old Testament dates back to the time when God switched shifts

…

“You are truly blasphemous and rude.”

“Because he’s a devil.”

At that time, the line of the fishing rod he was holding was pulled.

“come!”

I set the pole upright and wound the reel.

The line is tight.

Deus wrapped the rope with determination.

Scatul thought that if he did that, it would break. Looking at it again, it was no ordinary fishing rod.

Seeing that it was all black, I thought it was a fishing rod made of Hyeonmu.

A fish splashed several kilometers from the shore.

However, the condition of the bait was strange.

“Zeke-kun… is he bait?”

“huh. “I’m going to catch something special.”

“Aren’t you pitiful?”

“I? “A fish?”

“Zeke.”

“He asked me to do it. “After hearing that there was the most delicious fish in the world.”

The line quickly shortened.

To be honest, fishing was more like entertainment.

Zeke was catching a huge fish with a hooked spear. If I had to categorize it, it was closer to hunting.

The fishing rod was just a device for returning quickly.

“It’s tuna.”

“tuna?”

“I don’t know if it’s the tastiest fish, but it’s definitely in that category.”

“okay? “I’m looking forward to it.”

“I also eat it raw.”

“Fish? “Isn’t it fishy?”

“It has a unique flavor.”

“Do you know how to cook?”

“yes.”

“Then you should be the chef for today.”

“Are you planning on continuing to run a beach restaurant without customers?”

“If you’re worried, do you at least call the angels?”

“Wouldn’t it be better if we brought the dwarves?”

“What about the gate? “I heard that shameless woman won’t open it?”

“Don’t you already have it?”

“If you use it for business, the law will take it away. “It’s the dragons’ technology.”

“I can’t. “Let’s borrow the power of the fairies.”

“Oh, as expected, a talented butler.”

“That is an incredibly light compliment.” Deus laughed and Skathul slightly lowered his head.

Deus spoke to him as he turned around.

“Deacon.”

“Yes, master.”

“It’s your business.”

“yes.”

“Are you close with Lucifer?”

“yes?”

“Are you close?”

It was a random question.

Scatul tilted his head.

“I’ve never heard of anything like that.”

“Really? Then it’s okay.”

It was such a strange story that Scatul couldn’t erase his question from her memory for a long time afterwards.
